This is the first time I‘ve seen more than one book that I wanted on the BOTM selections. I decided on this one. What did you pick? #botm

I‘ve had the tagged book on my wishlist for a bit. So glad it was one of the #BOTM picks this month!
Wasn't super excited about #botm selections but it's my birthday month so I had to get something so that I could get my free birthday book 😁 I liked Black Cake and Good Dirt does sound good so that was the obvious choice for me.
pickIt‘s been almost 3 years since I read & loved Wilkerson‘s debut novel! Her latest centers around the after-effects of trauma. The wealthy Freeman family has a long history, but for Ebby in particular, she feels defined by the tragedy that took her 15 year old brother. Multiple perspectives, covering modern & historical time periods, I‘m not surprised to see this as a #BOTM pick! I didn‘t love it as much as her first, but can‘t wait for her third!

This is the second novel by the author of Black Cake. I may be going against the grain but I much preferred this one - some other early reviewers felt that the old jar featured in this book didn‘t have as much impact as the cake recipe in the first but I liked it.
There was quite a time distance between the tales of slavery (and the jar) and the modern day, which perhaps lessened the impact but the modern-day ⬇️
pickA story of redemption, forgiveness and family. Where you come from influences who you are in the present. A wonderfully written story with a diverse cast of characters. Highly recommend!
Book 4/100 of the year.
Started this last night just before bed and already gasped at 6%! Have a feeling I will be reading this all weekend… #arc
pickI loved this quite a lot. Black Cake was better but that was going to be hard to outdo.
